in addition if your average rate for a direct customer is only 2.05 for a van, that's low, as well. Like I said before, stick around awhile...
1.80 is such an ugly rate. Are you talking about lanes coming out of the north west? Or backhaul lanes like CO to Indy? As far as your OM walking...
Good, so no commissions off the top. That's great news for your driver's. But some customers are not always easy. They can eat up your drivers...
Easier, well that depends on the shipper. As You well know.
Good you answered the question. However. You can't guarantee that you have negotiated the best rate. That's not always the case. Many times...
Another example, any load I post on my board I have to post 100% of the amount of the load. As a broker we get a percentage of the line haul....
So when you do create a load board, will your drivers be limited to just your load board? Or will they have the opportunity to still uze, DAT,...
Heavy, thanks for the update. I too was trying to be very clear and not take sides. Loads work both ways. Understanding what brokers do as well...
Actually that's not what I am doing at all. I am trying to explain to you, you need to build good relationships with brokers. That's a given....

Don't get me wrong, I really try to avoid cheap freight, but, when my customer throws me the cheap ones I take those along with the good ones they...
No one put you in the position of committing to the cheap freight. You did that yourself. To commit and not follow through is your fault.
Oh yes, let me add we do lose money on cheap loads we commit to. That said, that customer may have lanes that pay more. You gotta take the good...
Oh, I understand quite well. My spouse is a driver. I suggest you find a few trustworthy brokers and work with them. Not all loads pay well....
Hum, if you find a better paying load fall off the one you've already taken? Not a good idea. With many Companies, you have to many of those the...
From my perspective as a broker I need confirmation of that rate confirmation ASAP in many cases. I also need to dispatch the driver myself....
Perhaps that's one of the hiccups of a new Company and should be worked out. I think the solution is simple, just allow the driver to confirm if...
